How to game elections using social media - @MishiChoudhary and #EbenMoglen write in today's @timesofindia timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/toi-edit…
From the piece: Facebook should be required to prevent people from being added to WhatsApp groups without their explicit consent.
From the piece: Facebook, Twitter and other such platforms should not be allowed to take their own sweet time and offer assurances that AI and machine learning will solve all our problems

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (#TRAI) had issued a consultation paper for creating a regulatory framework for over-the-top communication services. Our comments are available here:
sflc.in/our-comments-t…
#NetNeutrality
In our responses we've described why we believe that TRAI is not the right body to regulate OTT services, and the framework that is already in place to regulate services on the Internet.
We have discussed the fact that telecom services operate on a limited natural resource and face limited competition.

Yesterday, The Supreme Court of India issued notice to the Centre for the continued use of Section 66A of the IT Act, 2000, despite the provision being struck down as unconstitutional by the court in its landmark judgment - Shreya Singhal v. Union of India (2015). #FoE
The erstwhile Section 66A of the IT Act, provided for punishment for sending offensive messages through communication services. The Supreme Court struck it down in its entirety calling it violative of Article 19(1)(a) and not saved by Article 19(2) of the constitution of India.
Due to the seriousness of the submissions, the bench comprising of Justice Rohinton Nariman and Justice Vineet Saran asserted that the concerned officials will be arrested if its order scrapping the provision has been violated. For more details visit - sflc.in/supreme-court-…

A draft amendment of the Intermediary Guidelines Rules has been issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, ostensibly for dealing with the #FakeNews and #misinformation. We have published a FAQ on the draft amendment.
sflc.in/faq-draft-amen…
The draft Rules remove the safe harbour granted to intermediaries such as WhatsApp, Google, Facebook and your telecom service provider if they do not comply with these Rules.
In order to stay safe themselves, they would have to tell you every month that you are not allowed to post, upload or send content that violates these Rules.

A newly published interview of @PiyushGoyal by @RajivMessage, in which Rajiv raises several issues of Minoritarian privileges and Hindu human rights My comments follow below 1/n cc @sankrant @pranasutra @rahuldewan
Firstly, @PiyushGoyal does not seem to cognize the Church as a foreign controlled political entity that is operating within India. The political dimension is a core feature and not an aberration. This is the kind of message that the Church propagates before every election - 2/n
China's response was to insist that all Bishops be appointed by China and not the Vatican. The Vatican has been forced to agree. India has yet to grapple with the reality that the Church is essentially a foreign controlled, hostile, political force operating on Indian soil 3/n

Noon in Korea
@NoonInKorea
Pres Moon is in Delhi to meet Indian PM Modhi. He'll try to expand trade & defense ties with India. While being interviewed, Moon tells this ancient myth about an Indian princess who arrived on Korean shores 2,000 years ago and married King of Gaya Kingdom
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/toi-excl…
Some people think it is a true story and there are even purported archeological artifacts supporting the unlikely claim. But it's a 2000-year old myth influenced prolly by the dissemination of Buddhism to Korea and most people don't believe it
pub.chosun.com/client/news/vi…
For one this union of King Suro of ancient Gaya kingdom and this Princess from Ayuta started an entire branch of the Kims in Korea that is the single largest branch: if true, 5% of the SK population descended from this purported Indian-Korean intermarriage

Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…

For news, Wired recommends @nuzzel. Great app, but it never stuck for me because I don't use social media for news. (@AppleNews is OK, but still limited to a handful of countries.) My tip: Pick a trusted news source (mine is @tagesschau), use their site, pay them if you can.
Here's more on getting news, again from @WIRED: wired.com/story/news-app…. (#RSS is still an option, of course. I never stopped using it. I love @Inoreader.)

TL;DR: Cambridge Analytica merely harvested Facebook 'likes' data from friends of users of a paid survey app. Loads of data brokers do this already, for online marketing. Not a hack or 'data breach,' although it _was_ a FB ToS violation b/c pretext and disclosed to others.
The media spin on this is absolutely unreal. If you read the actual articles, they solely did something everyone already knew could be done. That's why privacy sites always warned about disabling FB platform access and not installing random survey apps that steal your data.
Even the Guardian itself admits they only harvested friend 'likes'.

Facebook says it sold political ads to a "shadowy Russian company seeking to target voters" during 2016 election.

👀
wapo.st/2gN5NLf?tid=ss…
Facebook traced the political ads to the Internet Research Agency, aka the troll farm based in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Facebook:

In May: No evidence we sold political ads to Russia

In Sept: jk we did & we traced the source to a firm financed by a Putin ally
